Thanks very much. After following your detailed instructions (which were more effective than at similar TH-cam pages for this issue) I found the same kind of debris around the food chopper area - a plastic fork handle, a shard of glass, and a few toothpicks. After re-assembly I removed the fuse and found it had no continuity. I also jumped it per your instruction and the panel lit up. The KitchenAid website wanted $37 for the fuse kit; I got it on Amazon for $8 with 2-day delivery. This sure beats paying over $1,000 to buy a replacement for my 26-year-old machine!
As you probably already know, jumping the fuse can fry other components, (even if it’s only for 2 seconds), use a volt meter and check it for continuity. The other thing I wanted you to know is that you SHOULD have used the wire(s) that came with the fuse. It’s a common problem that Whirlpool appliances have and Whirlpool had to come up with a “fix” for it. That fix was those wires. Just replacing the fuse itself may not be enough. The wires going to the fuse tend to over heat causing the fuse to blow. Replacing those wires that came WITH the fuse will stop that problem. It’s easy to do, just cut and strip the wires and stick them into the connector that came with the fuse and screw them down tightly. I can’t tell you how many times I have to go back to people’s homes and reinstall it WITH the wires because it can/will possibly blow again. I’m a certified Sears appliance technician. Good luck in your endeavors, all in all, this wasn’t a bad video.
These are great advice. I am going to dig up those wires and install them like you said. I also got myself a volt meter so I can do continuity tests going forward. Thanks for commenting and the feedback. Really appreciate it.
The Patriots Brother... Ha, you are everywhere. I just had a thought. My heating element and HiTemp thermostat may be aging because I'm overworking them with all the HiTemp cleaning modes and my HOT water only averages maybe 85° because I'm on the 3rd floor of a 100yr old condo. Water pressure is OK, but I have to run HOT water for a while to get 100°+ water.
@@ThePatriotsBrother - My Maytag manufacturer date is 2010 or 2011. Would that be considered NEW? It washed dishes fine for years, but quit in 2017. I just fixed it fall of 2019. I really don't like washing dishes, lol!
Thank you so much Danny! I am a a 56 year old woman and just fixed the dishwasher BY MYSELF! Thanks to you of course! My part was ordered through Home Depot and arrived in 2 days for under $9. I'm pretty excited!
That’s awesome! I love hearing that people are able to do this stuff on their own…this is why I started making these DIY videos, since I’ve learned so much on TH-cam myself. Thank you for commenting. It is very encouraging. Have a great rest of the week!
I was already shopping for a replacement washer, then searched youtube--"no power kitchenaid dishwasher" your video came up......you saved me $800.00 (or postponed it's use). FYI, I clicked your Amazon link, it took me to some Canadian Amazon page. I left and went to US Amazon page and ordered from different vendor. Thanks for video, sorry about link.
Glad the video helped....and glad you were able to find a similar part in the US Amazon site. Happy you can get more life out of your dishwasher. Have a great rest of the week. Thanks for commenting.
Accurate video, probably saved me hundreds of bucks today. I followed the instructions and cleaned it up. The only things stuck there are a few unsolved plastic wraps of detergent capsules; after removal, power and lights came back so I didn't even open to check the fuse/motherboard. Who would think detergent capsules can cause such a problem!
That’s fantastic! Glad it worked for you without replacing the fuse. Make sure you do a cleaning every few months. It will keep your dishwasher running like new :-). Thanks for commenting. Have a great rest of the week!
Thanks Danny. Worked great to help diagnose a blown fuse. Ordered mine and awaiting it's arrival. Fuse arrived, replaced it and it worked, dishwasher is running at this moment. I also took a few minutes and checked the filter and grinder and found plastic pieces in there. Works like a charm now.
Dude, youre a life saver. My dishwasher took a crap this am. It was the same fuse. Watched your video, troubleshot, and figured it out. Got a new one locally, but it was 30 bucks. It was worth it to get it going today, instead of in a week. Thanks man.
Excellent tutorial and clear and concise info. I took everything you did and cleaned out 12 years of built up crud, seed pits, plastic bottle cap. Easy fix and went back together easily. I tested it and worked perfect.....With all the gunk I cleaned out of the reservoir and I think it'll do a better job now. Thanks for saving me a few hundred buck$! Oh and my fuse was bad also.
Just confirmed my issue was the thermal fuse by using a wire between the two contacts (all I had) to confirm it was bad. Thank you so much for showing us how to confirm the issue before ordering the part. Wish you well and thank you for taking the time and explaining all of this so well!!!
Extremely clear and helpful content. You saved my dishwasher. I followed your instructions exactly and am thrilled to say the dishwasher is working! Thank you!!
Thanks so much for this easy fix for the fuse. I had run my Kitchenaid on hi-temp scrub and it died in the middle of the cycle. I don't do many repairs so going slowly, it took me an hour and a half including the cleaning. The easiest part was changing the fuse I am so glad I found your video - saved me time and $$.
Thanks for the great video. Very thorough and clear instructions. Professionally done. I had the same dishwasher and the same problem. I spent about of one-tenth of the money needed to call a repairman on the order of the thermal fuse. Following every step shown in the video, I did the maintenance cleaning, opened the compartment for the motherboard, replaced the thermal fuse. It is now working as before. BTW, I ordered the part from a local store and picked it up the same day. Thanks again Danny Jose!
Wow! That’s fantastic! Glad the video helped! Thank you so much for taking the time to writing this comment. Really appreciate it. Have a great rest of the week!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very detailed explanation. I have the model with the small panel on the front but was still able to complete the repair. With almost 256,000 views you surely have helped many people save lots of money on this repair. Thanks again!
You saved me $90 at least. I watched several videos and almost ordered an entire new board. Instead I found the fuse as you suggested for about $10. Worked like a charm. Thanks!
So glad it worked for you. Thank you for commenting and confirming for other people how easy this is to fix yourself. Have a great rest of the day. Make sure you like the video and subscribe :-)
I followed your instructions, cleaned and checked the filter plus did a troubleshoot of the fuse. That was it. Replaced with one from Amazon and it's working again. Thanks!
Nice, easy to follow tutorial. Cautionary note: Best to switch out both fuse & wiring - otherwise it will likely blow again. It's easily done, look up "thermal fuse kit" replacement.
So thankful for your video! Our 16 year old Kitchenaid DW same model, lights stopped during cycle .Followed your instructions exactly and sure enough it was the fuse. Great video!!
Thanks Danny! This video saved me a big repair bill! Everything in your video was exactly the issues my dishwasher was having, including the pistachio shell and the fuse. GREAT VIDEO!!
Dude! Dude! Wow! Thank you so much! Followed this video to the letter and my machine is working again! Literal lifesaver. Thank you for the gift of this video!
Good video to watch before service tech arrives. I am not comfortable working with electricity. When the service person comes, I will understand the possible problems and costs. I appreciate the help!
Glad you found the video informative….hopefully it will validate what the technician finds. Expect a charge for troubleshooting the issues, cost for the parts needed (likely replacement of the board) and labour as well. Hopefully it’s a minor repair. Keep me posted.
At 8:45 into the video - two black relays on the right side of the board. One of mine had blown and burned a bit of the surrounding circuit board. $900 for a new dishwasher vs $150 for a used circuit board. BUT - - I was able to track down one of the relays online for $4! Removed the damaged one, soldered the new one in, and my dishwasher actually worked!
That is amazing!!! I’ve had this dishwasher for about 10 years now and still getting my dishes cleaned. It’s had it’s fair share of problems but if you are willing to fix it yourself....it will last you for a very long time. Glad to hear yours as new life :-) have a great week! Thanks for commenting!
@@DDIY-Guy I am on a mission to make my dishwasher last TWENTY YEARS...only four more years to go! It's videos like this that have helped me get it to last this long.
That’s amazing! I hope my dishwasher last that long too. I've learn other fixes on youtube as well so I too appreciate these types of videos and glad to give back as well. cheers!
Thanks Danny! Your instructions were very useful. Some broken glass was the culprit for me. The experience also gave me an excuse to finally buy a shop vac!
So glad it was helpful and congrats on finally getting a shop vac....it’s amazing how much I use mine for water spills, dirty stuff that I don’t want to use my regular vacuum for and other messy stuff. Thank you for commenting and subscribing to the channel! Have a fantastic weekend!
Thank you! just spent like an hour going through this for the first time because we spent a lot of time cleaning. Your video made this 100% possible (both the old and the new). Thanks for making this!!!
Thank you so much. Did exactly what you did and it'd worked again. Saved me 100's of dollars 💸. But now it stops running mid cycle almost like you hit pause. If not one thing it's another. Thanks a million
Glad it worked for you. If it stopped mid cycle, try turning off the power at the breaker for it and reboot your washer. If that didn’t work, there might be something wrong with the board.
Ok...I'm not a repair man, but my DW went dead...I will follow up with a feedback once I follow these step. But I would like to add that the instructor explanation was very clear. Excellent.
Thabk you for your comment and feedback. I hope it works for you and your dishwasher functions again. Please let my know how it turns out. Best wishes.
Thank you for responding...I know that my question is out of my scope of practice, but aside from my professional responsibilities as an author, speaker...etc...I've always told people that "NEVER OWN WHAT YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX" and I'm going to do just that. Thanks brother....Keep up the great work
This video is great! I was able to replace the fuse myself easily. I also appreciate the advice to clean out the grinder. I took the extra time to do that and found a cherry pit, some glass, ceramic etc. The instructions are very easy to follow! Thank you!
@@DDIY-Guy The same fuse blew again for me. I have another one on order and I will clean out the grinder again. If I don't find anything in the grinder could it be something else down the line? Your video is so easy and clear!!! Thank you again!
It could be just the type of fuse you got. Someone else suggested that you also replace the wires that come with the fuse you ordered. That might help carry the electrical load better. Let me know how it goes. It might just be by chance that it blew so shortly after....mine has been working since I first replaced it. Anyway, it’s good that the fuse blows, it means it’s doing it’s job.
This is by far the best done video and I have been able to take apart and clean my dishwasher as well as diagnose a blown fuse in the control panel. Thanks so much!
Hey I know you did it ages ago but I just used to fix my dishwasher, and if it hods up saved me $1000 as we were gonna replace! Either way we’ll done. Thanks
Great video!! Everything was explained perfectly and so easy to follow. I really appreciate that you included cleaning out the grinder area to avoid another blown fuse. We were able to fix part and clean out dishwasher. We found fruit nuts and a long skinny piece of glass under the grinder. Part was only 8$ on Amazon. Thank you for the help.
Danny, thank you for taking the time to put together a very well thought out and easy to follow process to fix the issue , you save me a great deal of hassle and money ! Very grateful!
Credit where credit is due...thank you so much for making this video! I was able to complete the repair myself for the cost of the fuse. Same exact problem right down to the pistachio shells. Thank you again!
Many thanks, Danny! While I agree with ThePatriotsBrother, your video gave me a great place to begin diagnostics of my dead touchpad. SECOND TIP is another TH-cam instruction: With door open, disconnect from control board the power connector and both touch pad connectors. Wait 7 seconds, then close door. If pump begins drain cycle, your control board is OK! After this step, my touchpad came on again and all is good! Maybe this reset the control board?? THIRD (and it would be easy to first try this): My model is a 12 year-old KUDS30FXSS3. The repair sheet inside the toe-kick apron also describes a UI (User Interface) test: with all connectors connected, press any 3 touchpad buttons sequentially 3 times in a row. If UI is OK, all buttons/lights will simultaneously light up. (If less than all light up, there is an error code descriptor.)
Danny, excellent video. I had the exact same issue and replacing the fuse solved the problem. Cleaning the innards was a great suggestion as well. Very well done.
Yeah. I did it myself. Cost me about $15.00 AFTER paying repair person $112 for service call who then wanted another $120 for the fuse! Wished I would have seen your video earlier. Thank you.
@@DDIY-Guy Unfortunately, I ran a cleaning cycle and apparently overheated and blew the fuse again and before it drains! Any idea what might be causing it to overheat???
Thank you thank you thank you! My dishwasher had the exact same problem and if I had just fixed the fuse it would have happened again. (My dishwasher had the same issue with obstructions/plastic in the drain.) Up and running again thanks to your video. 👍👍👍👍👍
This got my dishwasher going, however, the unit stopped working again after one run. I guess the fuse is blowing for some reason further down the line (I ran it without heat/dry, so perhaps that rules out the heating element). Turbidity sensor? The motor gets a bit loud so maybe it is failing. I also just switched out the fuse as opposed to splicing in the wire kit, and some websites say not to skip that step, but the wires that come with it are only about 8" long so that just seems like splicing for the sake of splicing. Anyway, this is a great video and it seems to have been a permanent fix for many. Thanks for Posting!
I can visualize calls to repair technician....i tried to take my dishwasher apart to fix it and now i don’t know how to put it back together. My advice is stop buying pistachios in the shell. Thanks for the video. Excellent instructions.
You are right.....no more hard shell nuts and cherries! They are the common culprits for clogged filter and grinders. You can also tell everyone to rinse their dishes before putting it in the dishwasher. Anyway, thanks for commenting. Have a great rest of the week.
i remember always to take the fuse out of the circuit when testing for shorts or rather continuity when i was testing laptops. i believe it has something to do with if its still connected to other things it could pick up some funky stuff
Great tutorial, not only was it my fuse that blew, but there was gunk all inside that needed cleaning, and ceramic bits in the grinder from a broken bowl. I replaced the grinder as well.
Awesome. Glad to hear you got it all working again. Make sure you clean out your filter/grinder once every couple of months to keep you dishwasher cleaning like new. Have a great rest of the week and thanks for commenting!
I guess you do a good job of rinsing the dishes before you put it in the dishwasher. I tend to find things like cherry seeds, broken plastics, pieces of glass, every couple of months :-)
@@DDIY-Guy Hi Danny, my dishwasher stopped again. I ran it once, it cleaned really well, but didn't drain. I pushed the cancel/drain button and it drained. I tried running it again on light wash. It didn't drain and now it doesn't start. I just replaced the grinder and the fuse when it wasn't working before and there hasn't been any junk in there to get clogged. Any idea what it could be??? PS: I don't have a sink disposal.
it sounds like a part of the board might be blown. if you check the board that you replaced the fuse with, disconnect all the wires and pop out the board. Look at the underside and see if there are any burn marks.
@@DDIY-Guy Crazy, there was a big piece of glass stuck. The part out tutorial was perfect. Thanks so much for the video, saved me tons of time and money.
Nice instruction. We clean the bottom of the dishwasher. Then reassembled. Tested the fuse by using a paper clip and we got lights. replaced the fuse and got lights. First test run was good the I just looked in the dishwasher and there is water at the bottom and no lights so I think we blew the fuse again. I guess we need to check the drain motor or hose.
Our motherboard caught on fire. In looking into this, I found that KitchenAid and Whirlpool (parent company) have a history of this problem. There was even a class-action lawsuit a few years ago.
Thank you for sharing this tutorial! You saved me a tech visit and potentially buying a new dishwasher all for a $10 piece that blew. Good karma coming your way🙌🏼
Danny!!! Awesome video. My issue was the same. And after watching the video I decided to dismantle the filter assembly and clean the washer. Great info and you have another subscriber Wish we could have done a video on my jackshaft door installation
I have no idea why they use these devices ...perhaps to enrich the rewards for the service techs and parts vendors! These non-resettable breakers could easily have been replaced with an auto-reset device (they do exist) or even a manual resettable thermal breaker. These things occasionally trip for no really good reason. I have the same dishwasher and mine has tripped twice over the course of eight or ten years. I have never replaced it. Quite often, you can spray them with freeze spray and the extreme cold will make them reset. I've even done it by putting the device in my freezer overnight. Reinstall it, and it works fine again for years ...for at least as long as a new replacement would have. I have even opened them up (gently), reset them and re-closed them, and they work just fine. I just LOVE beating the system!
@@DDIY-Guy ...the ones that won't reset with cold-shock can be reset by opening them (gently!), resetting them manually and re-closing. A little dab of super glue will re-close them. It's important to re-close them completely (firmly) as failure to do so will affect its intended function. Everyone I've ever reset (cold-shocked or manually) has worked properly. The one in my dishwasher has tripped twice - about four years (and many wash cycles) apart, but it still works fine. I have the exact same type in my KitchenAid oven. The self-cleaning cycle (after about three years of use) started to trip it due to the high heat. That one reset nicely with cold-shock. (I never use the self-cleaning function anymore for that reason). When you open one up, you can usually see there is absolutely nothing wrong with it ...it just got "finicky" one day and decided to trip. With all this said, they are in there for a purpose, and even though some may trip inadvertently, some may trip due to an actual heat problem. The bimetal in these devices can actually weaken over time (after prolonged exposure to heat and/or too many trips). In that case, it should be replaced, and reasons for the tripping should be researched.
Hello im just about to tear apart my dishwasher but would really like to know what that cable is called to bypass the fuse to test if its actually the fuse that blown. Great video by the way awesome detail and thorough tutorial. Thanks
Thank you Danny! you are the best at showing and explainig how to repair my dish washer. your instructions were very precise . please keep your videos coming
If you’re experiencing the same issue but the dude provided continuity should I consider the board? Unit is not turning on/ responding to commands but is getting power
Thank you. Mine was dead in the water out of the box. Option #1 Factory Warrantee repair if I can't do it myself. Option #2....Whirlpool sends someone out ot pick up this piece of junk and I replace it with a B osch like I had before for 14 years.
Why spend 30.00 for a fuse when you can get a fuse holder and a fuse for a few bucks, solder or crimp the fuse holder in place, and if you have a volt meter it has a resistance meter on it that you can remove the fuse and test it, with the power off of course!
Never, ever, underestimate the value of shopping for anything on eBay first. That fuse link on most on-line appliance part sites, or on Amazon, will sell for $28.00 to $37.00 plus shipping which will usually add another $4.00 to $8.00. You can buy that same genuine Whirlpool fuse on eBay for $8.00 to $12.00, depending on the vendor, with free shipping, and I had my part in three days. People think that Amazon is the go to site for good deals but you soon find out it's only making Jeff Bezos richer by the minute. Sometimes you have no choice, but most of the time you do.
I had a no power and it was not the fuse ... always check the wire nuts in the junction box at the front lower corner of the unit - that fixed my problem after tightening the wire nuts.
DDIY GUY Danny Jose bottom right, you should see a 12ga power supply going in (usually yellow) from inside that 3 wires come out black white and copper. The black and white wire nut to black and white of dishhwasher
Good video. The fuse was just $9.50 in Amazon. Now the dishwasher runs for a while and shuts down with no power and after 20-25 minutes the power is back on and the light is flashing. It stops midway in the rinse cycle. I assumed the drain motor is not working. But once the power is back on (on its own) I hit cancel and the water completely. Cant figure out the problem
Check the bottom of your dishwasher where the water spout is located at the bottom front right corner. Sometimes a utensil will get stuck under it and will stop the cycle mid way.
DDIY GUY Danny Jose - Thanks for your quick response. No luck with that. It’s clear Since my message I ran another cycle. It ran for 20 minutes then shut down. All lights off and nothing will work. I waited 20 minutes, lights came on and start was blinking. Hit start and the cycle continued. Died again after 20 minutes. Came back alive in 15-20 minutes and when I hit the flashing start it completed the whole cycle with the cycle complete light in the end. Seems like something in the circuit Is heating up and trips. Once it cools it ready to start again. Do you think it’s the control board or is there a thermal switch? Thanks for your reply and help.
It might be just the fuse you got. You might want to order another one...this is the version I got from amazon. It’s got really good reviews but it costs $35. www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005B489US/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=15121&creative=330641&creativeASIN=B005B489US&linkCode=as2&tag=ddiydannyjose-20&linkId=aec3a00a3c1535c3b4f8881ce7c10e95 Also, make sure you install it with the wires it came with if you can. Those wire are better suited for that fuse.
Well the purpose of a fuse it to blow or cut the circuit if there is an abnormal amount of current surge. Bypassing this fuse will allow any current to go through....but this method was only to find out if the dishwasher will actually work again if the fuse is replaced and not meant for you to permanently bypass it.
Thanks! It was just as you guessed...blown fuse. $13.99 with free Prime shipping from Amazon, plus $4.99 for a pair of size T20 torx bits (the larger size...T-15 for the smaller screws) Thanks!
This was a great video!! So easy to understand! But what if it isn’t the fuse? I didn’t have jumper cables, but used a multimeter to test the fuse, and it looks like there was good contintuity .... so what’s next?
If there is no power at all, disassemble the control board and see if there are any burn marks....if so, you might be able to replace it....you can purchase a new one from Amazon.
Excellent video, thank you. I went step by step and did not find any obvious objects in the grinder that could have overheated and blocked operation. I tested the dishwasher fuse and it was good. I turned on power after having already reset the breaker box house panel fuse and voila, dishwasher worked. But now the question is why? If the fuse inside dishwasher was good and the breaker in house breaker box panel was not tripped and even after resetting, why did washer start working, just by cleaning grinder and taking off door panel to test dishwasher fuse...not complaining but still a mystery currently
sounds like you got lucky and didn’t blow the fuse with a sudden power surge. The dishwasher might have just powered off automatically and just needed a power restart. anyway, glad it all worked out for you.
Thanks very much. After following your detailed instructions (which were more effective than at similar TH-cam pages for this issue) I found the same kind of debris around the food chopper area - a plastic fork handle, a shard of glass, and a few toothpicks. After re-assembly I removed the fuse and found it had no continuity. I also jumped it per your instruction and the panel lit up. The KitchenAid website wanted $37 for the fuse kit; I got it on Amazon for $8 with 2-day delivery. This sure beats paying over $1,000 to buy a replacement for my 26-year-old machine!

I followed your instructions, cleaned and checked the filter plus did a troubleshoot of the fuse. That was it. Replaced with one from Amazon and it's working again. Thanks!
Glad the video helped! Thanks for commenting. Have a great rest of the week!
Nice, easy to follow tutorial. Cautionary note: Best to switch out both fuse & wiring - otherwise it will likely blow again. It's easily done, look up "thermal fuse kit" replacement.
Good tip. The wiring comes with it anyways so best to make use of it. Thanks for commenting!
You are THEE man!!!! 6 years later & FOREVER!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Glad it worked for you! These are great dishwashers. Hope it gives you a few more years of life. Thanks for commenting.
And you didn't even wear your protective shoes
Thank you! Successfully replaced our fuse tonight. Saved us $750 for a new dishwasher and was FUN to do.
That’s amazing!!!! I love hearing people’s successful DIY. Thank you for commenting. Have a fantastic rest of the week.
So thankful for your video! Our 16 year old Kitchenaid DW same model, lights stopped during cycle .Followed your instructions exactly and sure enough it was the fuse. Great video!!
glad it helped. thanks for commenting! have a great weekend.
Thanks Danny! This video saved me a big repair bill! Everything in your video was exactly the issues my dishwasher was having, including the pistachio shell and the fuse. GREAT VIDEO!!
So glad the video helped! Thank you for commenting. Have a great weekend!
There are intuitive people and there are teachers.. ur both.. very clear and detailed fix.. thanks
Glad it helped. Thank you for commenting. Have a great rest of the weekend.
Dude! Dude! Wow! Thank you so much! Followed this video to the letter and my machine is working again! Literal lifesaver. Thank you for the gift of this video!
Glad it worked for you! Thanks for commenting. Have a great rest of the week!
THANK YOU!!!! YOU SAVED ME A TON OF MONEY WITH A QUICK FIX FUSE & DIY FOR ONLY $9! YOU ROCK DANNY!
That's fantastic! So glad to hear the video helped. Thank you for commenting. Have a great rest of the week!
Good video to watch before service tech arrives. I am not comfortable working with electricity. When the service person comes, I will understand the possible problems and costs. I appreciate the help!
Glad you found the video informative….hopefully it will validate what the technician finds. Expect a charge for troubleshooting the issues, cost for the parts needed (likely replacement of the board) and labour as well. Hopefully it’s a minor repair. Keep me posted.
Thank you so much. Your video showed me were the fuse was and checked it out and it was the problem. You saved me $900. Great video.
Glad the video helped. Thank you for commenting. Have a great weekend.
At 8:45 into the video - two black relays on the right side of the board. One of mine had blown and burned a bit of the surrounding circuit board. $900 for a new dishwasher vs $150 for a used circuit board. BUT - - I was able to track down one of the relays online for $4! Removed the damaged one, soldered the new one in, and my dishwasher actually worked!
That is amazing!!! I’ve had this dishwasher for about 10 years now and still getting my dishes cleaned. It’s had it’s fair share of problems but if you are willing to fix it yourself....it will last you for a very long time. Glad to hear yours as new life :-) have a great week! Thanks for commenting!
@@DDIY-Guy I am on a mission to make my dishwasher last TWENTY YEARS...only four more years to go! It's videos like this that have helped me get it to last this long.
That’s amazing! I hope my dishwasher last that long too. I've learn other fixes on youtube as well so I too appreciate these types of videos and glad to give back as well. cheers!
Thanks Danny! Your instructions were very useful. Some broken glass was the culprit for me. The experience also gave me an excuse to finally buy a shop vac!
So glad it was helpful and congrats on finally getting a shop vac....it’s amazing how much I use mine for water spills, dirty stuff that I don’t want to use my regular vacuum for and other messy stuff. Thank you for commenting and subscribing to the channel! Have a fantastic weekend!
Thank you! just spent like an hour going through this for the first time because we spent a lot of time cleaning. Your video made this 100% possible (both the old and the new). Thanks for making this!!!
So glad it helped out and worked for you. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Have a fantastic rest of the day.
Thanks!!! I got mine second hand free and it died after two washes. But with your help it was a 10$ fix!!!! Thanks.
That’s awesome! Love hearing these kinds of stories. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much. Did exactly what you did and it'd worked again. Saved me 100's of dollars 💸. But now it stops running mid cycle almost like you hit pause. If not one thing it's another. Thanks a million
Glad it worked for you. If it stopped mid cycle, try turning off the power at the breaker for it and reboot your washer. If that didn’t work, there might be something wrong with the board.
Perfect! Thank you! 5 minutes and $9 later and it works great again (cleaned the filter first...took about 20 minutes)
Awesome! Glad it worked for you! Thanks for commenting! Have a great rest of the day.
Ok...I'm not a repair man, but my DW went dead...I will follow up with a feedback once I follow these step. But I would like to add that the instructor explanation was very clear. Excellent.
Thabk you for your comment and feedback. I hope it works for you and your dishwasher functions again. Please let my know how it turns out. Best wishes.
@@DDIY-Guy I removed the fuse and tested it with a multimeter but he reading state that the fuse was good...So, any suggestion.
I would now check the control board and see if there are any blown circuits on the back of it.
@@DDIY-Guy not sure how to do...that.
Thank you for responding...I know that my question is out of my scope of practice, but aside from my professional responsibilities as an author, speaker...etc...I've always told people that "NEVER OWN WHAT YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX" and I'm going to do just that. Thanks brother....Keep up the great work
This video is great! I was able to replace the fuse myself easily. I also appreciate the advice to clean out the grinder. I took the extra time to do that and found a cherry pit, some glass, ceramic etc. The instructions are very easy to follow! Thank you!
So glad the video helped. Thank you for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of the week.
@@DDIY-Guy The same fuse blew again for me. I have another one on order and I will clean out the grinder again. If I don't find anything in the grinder could it be something else down the line? Your video is so easy and clear!!! Thank you again!
It could be just the type of fuse you got. Someone else suggested that you also replace the wires that come with the fuse you ordered. That might help carry the electrical load better. Let me know how it goes. It might just be by chance that it blew so shortly after....mine has been working since I first replaced it. Anyway, it’s good that the fuse blows, it means it’s doing it’s job.
This is by far the best done video and I have been able to take apart and clean my dishwasher as well as diagnose a blown fuse in the control panel. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the comment. It made my day reading this and knowing the video helped out. Have a fantastic rest of the week!
Hey I know you did it ages ago but I just used to fix my dishwasher, and if it hods up saved me $1000 as we were gonna replace! Either way we’ll done. Thanks
That awesome!!!! Glad to hear the video helped. Thank you so much for commenting. Really appreciate it! Have a great rest of the week!
Great video!! Everything was explained perfectly and so easy to follow. I really appreciate that you included cleaning out the grinder area to avoid another blown fuse. We were able to fix part and clean out dishwasher. We found fruit nuts and a long skinny piece of glass under the grinder. Part was only 8$ on Amazon. Thank you for the help.
So glad the video helped! Thank you for commenting. Have a fantastic rest of the week!
Thank you. Between your excellent instructions paired with knowledgeable comments i now have a plan. If i only where Pinky went......😅
Danny, thank you for taking the time to put together a very well thought out and easy to follow process to fix the issue , you save me a great deal of hassle and money ! Very grateful!
So glad the video helped. Thanks for commenting…really appreciate it. Have a great rest of the week!
This fixed my dishwasher, fuse was only $15 on amazon, thanks for the great tutorial!
Glad the video help. Thank you for commenting. Have a great rest of the week.
Thanks for the great video - saved me a service call. Instead spent $20 on a fuse and now we're back up and running!
Glad it worked for you! Have a great rest of the weekend and thanks for commenting.
Omg! I just replaced the fuse in my dishwasher and it works! Thank you so much for such a detailed video.
So the glad the video helped! Thanks for commenting. Have a fantastic rest of the week.
OUTSTANDING Thank you.. the jumping fuse to diagnose was what did it for me...
Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for commenting! Have a great rest of the day!
Credit where credit is due...thank you so much for making this video! I was able to complete the repair myself for the cost of the fuse. Same exact problem right down to the pistachio shells. Thank you again!
Thank you for the comment. Glad it helped out.
Great video. Following you steps, I changed the fuse of my Kitchenaid Dishwasher successfully.
glad the video helped. thanks for commenting!
Thank you so much for the video! I followed every one of your steps and each one of them worked! Awesome video!
glad it worked for you! thanks for commenting. have a fantastic rest of the week!
Many thanks, Danny! While I agree with ThePatriotsBrother, your video gave me a great place to begin diagnostics of my dead touchpad.
SECOND TIP is another TH-cam instruction: With door open, disconnect from control board the power connector and both touch pad connectors. Wait 7 seconds, then close door. If pump begins drain cycle, your control board is OK! After this step, my touchpad came on again and all is good! Maybe this reset the control board??
THIRD (and it would be easy to first try this): My model is a 12 year-old KUDS30FXSS3. The repair sheet inside the toe-kick apron also describes a UI (User Interface) test: with all connectors connected, press any 3 touchpad buttons sequentially 3 times in a row. If UI is OK, all buttons/lights will simultaneously light up. (If less than all light up, there is an error code descriptor.)
thank for the additional tips!
Solved my problem and saved my family a bunch of money! Thank you!
Glad the video helped! Thanks for commenting. Hav a great rest of the week!
Fuse was $12 on amazon (U.S) Thanks so much! This was the exact problem...
Awesome! Glad it was also an easy and inexpensive fix. Thanks for commenting. Have a fantastic day!
Danny, excellent video. I had the exact same issue and replacing the fuse solved the problem. Cleaning the innards was a great suggestion as well. Very well done.
Glad it helped! Thanks for commenting. Have a great rest of the week!
Yeah. I did it myself. Cost me about $15.00 AFTER paying repair person $112 for service call who then wanted another $120 for the fuse! Wished I would have seen your video earlier. Thank you.
Sorry to hear you had to pay more than you had to…glad you were able to install it yourself.
@@DDIY-Guy Unfortunately, I ran a cleaning cycle and apparently overheated and blew the fuse again and before it drains! Any idea what might be causing it to overheat???
It might just a faulty fuse you bought. For $15, I would try another brand.
Also make sure you do the full cleaning of the grinder, there might be something hard, getting stuck there.
Thanks for the video. My washer stopped working with no power as well. I'm going to try to fix it myself
Hope it works for you. Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions.
Thanks for taking the time to put this video up. The fuse was my issue, and I did the full clean up as well. Save me big $$$!
Thank you for commenting! Glad the video helped. Have a fantastic rest of the week!
Thank you thank you thank you! My dishwasher had the exact same problem and if I had just fixed the fuse it would have happened again. (My dishwasher had the same issue with obstructions/plastic in the drain.) Up and running again thanks to your video. 👍👍👍👍👍
So glad it was helpful!! Thanks for commenting!
This got my dishwasher going, however, the unit stopped working again after one run. I guess the fuse is blowing for some reason further down the line (I ran it without heat/dry, so perhaps that rules out the heating element). Turbidity sensor? The motor gets a bit loud so maybe it is failing. I also just switched out the fuse as opposed to splicing in the wire kit, and some websites say not to skip that step, but the wires that come with it are only about 8" long so that just seems like splicing for the sake of splicing. Anyway, this is a great video and it seems to have been a permanent fix for many. Thanks for Posting!
Have you tried cleaning the grinder yet?
Saved my dishwasher with this video. Thank you!
that’s fantastic! glad the video helped. thank you for commenting. have a great rest of the week!
Great video, had the same issue, the fuse, also took it all apart to give a good cleaning with CLR.........Thanks!
That’s awesome. Glad you fixed the issue and gave your machine a good cleaning :-). Thank you for commenting.
What is CLR ?
It stands for Calcium, Lime, and Rust remover. It’s a common cleaning chemical.
Great video! I had this exact same problem with my dishwasher. After watching your video I was able to fix it. Thanks so much!
That’s fantastic! Glad it worked for you. Thanks for commenting. Have a great rest of the week.
I can visualize calls to repair technician....i tried to take my dishwasher apart to fix it and now i don’t know how to put it back together. My advice is stop buying pistachios in the shell. Thanks for the video. Excellent instructions.
You are right.....no more hard shell nuts and cherries! They are the common culprits for clogged filter and grinders. You can also tell everyone to rinse their dishes before putting it in the dishwasher. Anyway, thanks for commenting. Have a great rest of the week.
i remember always to take the fuse out of the circuit when testing for shorts or rather continuity when i was testing laptops. i believe it has something to do with if its still connected to other things it could pick up some funky stuff
Great tutorial, not only was it my fuse that blew, but there was gunk all inside that needed cleaning, and ceramic bits in the grinder from a broken bowl. I replaced the grinder as well.
Awesome. Glad to hear you got it all working again. Make sure you clean out your filter/grinder once every couple of months to keep you dishwasher cleaning like new. Have a great rest of the week and thanks for commenting!
@@DDIY-Guy Then I guess my dishwasher has done a good job, since this is the first time I cleaned it in 10 years!
I guess you do a good job of rinsing the dishes before you put it in the dishwasher. I tend to find things like cherry seeds, broken plastics, pieces of glass, every couple of months :-)
@@DDIY-Guy Hi Danny, my dishwasher stopped again. I ran it once, it cleaned really well, but didn't drain. I pushed the cancel/drain button and it drained. I tried running it again on light wash. It didn't drain and now it doesn't start. I just replaced the grinder and the fuse when it wasn't working before and there hasn't been any junk in there to get clogged. Any idea what it could be??? PS: I don't have a sink disposal.
it sounds like a part of the board might be blown. if you check the board that you replaced the fuse with, disconnect all the wires and pop out the board. Look at the underside and see if there are any burn marks.
It was the fuse for me as well! Lights are back on. Cleaning the inside now
awesome! hope everything is back to normal. thanks for commenting.
@@DDIY-Guy Crazy, there was a big piece of glass stuck. The part out tutorial was perfect. Thanks so much for the video, saved me tons of time and money.
Nice instruction. We clean the bottom of the dishwasher. Then reassembled. Tested the fuse by using a paper clip and we got lights. replaced the fuse and got lights. First test run was good the I just looked in the dishwasher and there is water at the bottom and no lights so I think we blew the fuse again. I guess we need to check the drain motor or hose.
Check the board, there might be other parts that are blown. In that case you might need to replace it.
Our motherboard caught on fire. In looking into this, I found that KitchenAid and Whirlpool (parent company) have a history of this problem. There was even a class-action lawsuit a few years ago.
This was an awesome tutorial man. Saved me so much time trying to figure it out myself.
Glad the video helped. Thanks for commenting. Have a great rest of the week!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial! You saved me a tech visit and potentially buying a new dishwasher all for a $10 piece that blew. Good karma coming your way🙌🏼
Glad the video helped. Thank you for your comment. Hope you are right about the karma :-) have a fantastic rest of the week!
Thank you for the step by step tutorial. Hopefully this will fix my problem! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤔
Hope it works for you. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for commenting. Have a great rest of the week.
Good video! My Kitchaid was dirty, but I didn't know about the fuse. Now I do. Thanks very much!
Awesome. Glad it helped.
Dude this video saved me some $$$. Thanks for explaining everything so clearly!
So glad it helped! Thanks for taking the time to comment. Have a fantastic rest of the week. Cheers!
You just saved me a thousand bucks! THANK YOU!
glad the video helped. thanks for commenting. have a great weekend.
Great explanation... worked like a charm. I did exactly as you said and it was a fuse, so im back up and running.
Thank you for commenting! Glad it worked for you. Have a fantastic rest of the week.
When confirming fuses, I simply do a continuity test across the fuse,, that's how they work, same with cars.
thanks for the tip!
wet vac and always remove the filter when sucking up water if you own a wet/dry vac
Danny!!!
Awesome video. My issue was the same. And after watching the video I decided to dismantle the filter assembly and clean the washer. Great info and you have another subscriber
Wish we could have done a video on my jackshaft door installation
+ihelpsed8em thanks for the comment. Glad it helped!
I have no idea why they use these devices ...perhaps to enrich the rewards for the service techs and parts vendors! These non-resettable breakers could easily have been replaced with an auto-reset device (they do exist) or even a manual resettable thermal breaker.
These things occasionally trip for no really good reason. I have the same dishwasher and mine has tripped twice over the course of eight or ten years. I have never replaced it. Quite often, you can spray them with freeze spray and the extreme cold will make them reset. I've even done it by putting the device in my freezer overnight. Reinstall it, and it works fine again for years ...for at least as long as a new replacement would have. I have even opened them up (gently), reset them and re-closed them, and they work just fine. I just LOVE beating the system!
Love this! I need to try this out.
@@DDIY-Guy
...the ones that won't reset with cold-shock can be reset by opening them (gently!), resetting them manually and re-closing. A little dab of super glue will re-close them. It's important to re-close them completely (firmly) as failure to do so will affect its intended function.
Everyone I've ever reset (cold-shocked or manually) has worked properly. The one in my dishwasher has tripped twice - about four years (and many wash cycles) apart, but it still works fine. I have the exact same type in my KitchenAid oven. The self-cleaning cycle (after about three years of use) started to trip it due to the high heat. That one reset nicely with cold-shock. (I never use the self-cleaning function anymore for that reason).
When you open one up, you can usually see there is absolutely nothing wrong with it ...it just got "finicky" one day and decided to trip.
With all this said, they are in there for a purpose, and even though some may trip inadvertently, some may trip due to an actual heat problem. The bimetal in these devices can actually weaken over time (after prolonged exposure to heat and/or too many trips). In that case, it should be replaced, and reasons for the tripping should be researched.
Thank for the tips. Have a great evening!
Hello im just about to tear apart my dishwasher but would really like to know what that cable is called to bypass the fuse to test if its actually the fuse that blown. Great video by the way awesome detail and thorough tutorial. Thanks
They ate called alligator clips. You can get them on amazon. You can also get the fuse there too. Thanks for commenting and let me know how it goes.
Thank you Danny! you are the best at showing and explainig how to repair my dish washer. your instructions were very precise . please keep your videos coming
+Ellie Waters thank you so much for your comment...it is very encouraging to know that the video helps people. Have a great rest of the day.
If you’re experiencing the same issue but the dude provided continuity should I consider the board? Unit is not turning on/ responding to commands but is getting power
tks a lot sir . I fixed my diswasher from your video .
That’s so great to hear! Glad the video helped. Thank you for commenting. Have a great rest of the weekend.
This video helped me so much. Thanks!
glad it helped! thanks for taking the time to comment. really appreciate it. have a great weekend!
Thank you. Mine was dead in the water out of the box. Option #1 Factory Warrantee repair if I can't do it myself. Option #2....Whirlpool sends someone out ot pick up this piece of junk and I replace it with a B osch like I had before for 14 years.
After a few more other issues with my Dishwasher, I gave up and ended up replacing it as well with a Bosch and we love it!
Great video - concise and easy to follow - thank you!
Glad the video helped and thanks for commenting. Have a great rest of the week!
Why spend 30.00 for a fuse when you can get a fuse holder and a fuse for a few bucks, solder or crimp the fuse holder in place, and if you have a volt meter it has a resistance meter on it that you can remove the fuse and test it, with the power off of course!
Very Good Video!!! Mission accomplished!!!
glad it worked for you! thanks for commenting! have a great weekend
Never, ever, underestimate the value of shopping for anything on eBay first. That fuse link on most on-line appliance part sites, or on Amazon, will sell for $28.00 to $37.00 plus shipping which will usually add another $4.00 to $8.00. You can buy that same genuine Whirlpool fuse on eBay for $8.00 to $12.00, depending on the vendor, with free shipping, and I had my part in three days. People think that Amazon is the go to site for good deals but you soon find out it's only making Jeff Bezos richer by the minute. Sometimes you have no choice, but most of the time you do.
Thanks for the tip. I will certainly look more on eBay options. Have a fantastic rest of the weekend.
I had a no power and it was not the fuse ... always check the wire nuts in the junction box at the front lower corner of the unit - that fixed my problem after tightening the wire nuts.
Good advise. Thanks for adding to the DIY fix!
How do you access the junction box?
Bsjcook...how do you access the junction box?
DDIY GUY Danny Jose bottom right, you should see a 12ga power supply going in (usually yellow)
from inside that 3 wires come out black white and copper. The black and white wire nut to black and white of dishhwasher

Glad it worked for you. Thanks for commenting. Have a great weekend!
Good video. The fuse was just $9.50 in Amazon.
Now the dishwasher runs for a while and shuts down with no power and after 20-25 minutes the power is back on and the light is flashing. It stops midway in the rinse cycle. I assumed the drain motor is not working. But once the power is back on (on its own) I hit cancel and the water completely.
Cant figure out the problem
Check the bottom of your dishwasher where the water spout is located at the bottom front right corner. Sometimes a utensil will get stuck under it and will stop the cycle mid way.
DDIY GUY Danny Jose - Thanks for your quick response. No luck with that. It’s clear
Since my message I ran another cycle. It ran for 20 minutes then shut down. All lights off and nothing will work. I waited 20 minutes, lights came on and start was blinking. Hit start and the cycle continued. Died again after 20 minutes. Came back alive in 15-20 minutes and when I hit the flashing start it completed the whole cycle with the cycle complete light in the end.
Seems like something in the circuit Is heating up and trips. Once it cools it ready to start again.
Do you think it’s the control board or is there a thermal switch?
Thanks for your reply and help.
It might be just the fuse you got. You might want to order another one...this is the version I got from amazon. It’s got really good reviews but it costs $35.
www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005B489US/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=15121&creative=330641&creativeASIN=B005B489US&linkCode=as2&tag=ddiydannyjose-20&linkId=aec3a00a3c1535c3b4f8881ce7c10e95
Also, make sure you install it with the wires it came with if you can. Those wire are better suited for that fuse.
Never bypass fuses unless you like living in a burned down foundation.
What do you mean by bypass?
Well the purpose of a fuse it to blow or cut the circuit if there is an abnormal amount of current surge. Bypassing this fuse will allow any current to go through....but this method was only to find out if the dishwasher will actually work again if the fuse is replaced and not meant for you to permanently bypass it.
@@DDIY-Guy+
Thanks! It was just as you guessed...blown fuse. $13.99 with free Prime shipping from Amazon, plus $4.99 for a pair of size T20 torx bits (the larger size...T-15 for the smaller screws) Thanks!
That’s awesome! Glad you got it working as well and thanks for mentioning the size torque bits needed :-) Have a great rest of the weekend!
Thanks buddy. It helped me save lot of $$ on replacement
Glad the video helped! Thanks for commenting! Have a fantastic rest of the week!
Thank you for this. Only issue is I have no screws holding my panel in and I’m having some trouble getting it off
Interesting….it must be a different model. I would suggest looking up another video and searching specifically for your model number.
This was a great video!! So easy to understand! But what if it isn’t the fuse? I didn’t have jumper cables, but used a multimeter to test the fuse, and it looks like there was good contintuity .... so what’s next?
Is there any lights at all on the dishwasher? If
If there is no power at all, disassemble the control board and see if there are any burn marks....if so, you might be able to replace it....you can purchase a new one from Amazon.
AWESOME VID - you just saved me $500!
So glad the video helped! Thank you for commenting. Have a fantastic rest of the week!
Thank you for this video...it helped me isolate the problem quickly.
Glad the video helped. Thank you for commenting! Have a great rest of the week!
Excellent video, thank you. I went step by step and did not find any obvious objects in the grinder that could have overheated and blocked operation. I tested the dishwasher fuse and it was good. I turned on power after having already reset the breaker box house panel fuse and voila, dishwasher worked. But now the question is why? If the fuse inside dishwasher was good and the breaker in house breaker box panel was not tripped and even after resetting, why did washer start working, just by cleaning grinder and taking off door panel to test dishwasher fuse...not complaining but still a mystery currently
sounds like you got lucky and didn’t blow the fuse with a sudden power surge. The dishwasher might have just powered off automatically and just needed a power restart. anyway, glad it all worked out for you.
@@DDIY-Guy Thanks for the follow up
Thank you!!
